Princeton Pro Musica presents a discussion in the library’s community room of “Requiem for Robert F. Kennedy,” a piece composed by Frank Lewin in 1969, ahead of its May 9 live performance. Lewin was a longtime resident of Princeton. Two of Lewin’s daughters, Naomi and Miriam Lewin, will join Ryan Brandau, artistic director of Princeton Pro Musica, in a discussion about the inspiration and history of this piece. The Requiem was premiered at the memorial service for Kennedy on May 27, 1969 in the Princeton University Chapel. Princeton Pro Musica will perform the Requiem for the second time in the Chapel on Saturday, May 9, at 4 pm.
